As the title implies, I recently received my EMT-B certification. Now the hard part: applying for a job. While most ambulance companies,(on the 911 system and private sector) require experience, I am basically applying to everything and anything I can. The reason for this post is my resume. I'm aware that there have been previous posts on the topic yet I have no idea how this forum works nor where to find it, (I googled the topic and it brought me here.) So here it goes: What is my resume supposed to look like? What do employers look for in a newbie EMT? My resume is below (obviously personal details omitted. What do you think? Anything helps. Thank you so so much in advance!
